October 16^th, 2003 (12:00am) - Just in time for some shivery Halloween fun, TDK Mediactive and Disney Interactive announced today that Disney’s The Haunted Mansion game has materialized at retail stores throughout North America. Inspired by the theme park attraction that hosts millions of foolish mortals each year, The Haunted Mansion video game is available for the Sony PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube. Walt Disney Pictures’ major motion picture starring Eddie Murphy will debut in November 2003.

In this famous house of wall-to-wall creeps and hot-and-cold running chills, Zeke Holloway must put 999 unwelcome evil spirits to rest while trying to keep himself from being scared to death…literally. Players navigate through ghoulish game environments based on both the attraction and the movie. In addition, players must solve eerie puzzles and uncover tons of hidden clues, passageways and secrets untold to unleash the evil trapped inside this once happy haunting habitat. The beloved spirit in the crystal ball, Madame Leota, provides assistance to the lost souls. Now it is up to Zeke to avoid becoming spirit number 1000!

“The game has really captured the spirit of the Haunted Mansion lore,” deadpans Michael Devine, executive vice president of sales and marketing for TDK Mediactive.
